Show Notes
Former Missouri Senator John Lamping joins Dan Buck and Kim St. Onge to unpack Donald Trump’s plan to eliminate the U.S. Department of Education. Lamping explains how the shift could upend Missouri’s funding structure, complicate local control, and reignite the school-choice debate. He warns that dismantling the department would trigger chaos over funding distribution and oversight unless Congress rewrites key laws. The conversation turns to teacher-union influence, property-tax fights, and Missouri’s outdated foundation-formula system — with Lamping arguing that only strong gubernatorial leadership can push through real reform.
